It is either, depending on the usage. Bare means to reveal or make known, while bear as used here means to carry, possess, or have.
So "to bear the name of" means someone possesses or represents a name, like in bearing the name of one's father. To "bare the name" would mean to reveal the name.
Bare: to open to view; reveal or divulge:
To bare one's arms; to bare damaging new facts.
Bear: to possess, as aquality or characteristic; havein or on:
To bear traces; to bearan inscription.
Bare is a transitive verb; that is, it takes an object and describes an action upon the object. The implication of "bare," as in "bare the name" is revealing that which is or has been hidden or secret. The Coppertone girl "bares her bottom," but her swimsuit "bears the Coppertone label."
When you say "The school bares the name of Hillside," you imply that the school took an action that revealed the name (Hillside) that was previously hidden, but you do not imply that Hillside is the name of the school.
When you say "The school bears the name of Hillside," you imply an association between the name and the school (i.e., formally, an inscription or a sign on the school; or an impromptu naming of the school in popular culture).
The correct phrase is "bear the name." This means to have or carry a particular name. "Bare the name" would imply that the name is exposed or uncovered, which doesn't make sense in this context.
